Do not recommend main bus design to new players! The most fun I've in Factorio had was getting to a rocket blind and dealing with my spaghetti factory. Even mentioning any kind of pattern to new players should be avoided.
I always wonder how often people in charge of massive compute tasks like LLM pre-training have messed up some detail that invalidates or fails to persist the results and only realise afterwards.

Re:Pandas 3.0 on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @06:09AM (#46793843)
Do you not experience LLM generated code constantly trying to use Pandas' methods/syntax for Polars objects?
Are you using Pydantic AI for structured output? If so, have you also tried instructor?
Have you considered whether this is because of the local weather tendencies? I visited the Netherlands once in summer near Amsterdam, and there were short bursts of rain frequently throughout the day. I'd imagine weather patterns like that are not well represented in global weather apps lowering the prediction accuracy in such regions.
Here is a German article about migration and integration in the immigrant city of Wuppertal. The Schwebebahn is also mentioned.

The underlying text generation should be made aware that it can make sounds. It told me it can't.

Also for proper emotional dialogue it needs to determine the human input emotions. It seems to work with a transcript of the input.

So you got the impression he didn't like the paintings? He seemed to be moved by them to me.

Re:Show HN: Autotab – Boring AI Agents for real world tasks on Thursday October 19, 2023 @06:26PM (#37949629)
The example I've given is really the only situation so far where I desired such functionality. I know very little about web stuff and I don't know if there is a term for what I'm looking for, so I can't give you any pointers. Macros and workflows are just similar concepts I know.
Re:Show HN: Autotab – Boring AI Agents for real world tasks on Thursday October 19, 2023 @04:56PM (#37948610)
Does this allow me to record something like a workflow or macro I can use as a shortcut in an open browser window or is it restricted an automated process of opening a browser window and executing some actions?

Specifically, assume I have a bunch of open tabs, each with an identical element, say the Full Screen button on Youtube video pages. Can I record "Exit Full Screen, move to next tab, enter Full Screen of the video on the page" with Autotab?

I used Tree-sitter to navigate and extract syntactic information from source code files in multiple languages. It was great that I didn't have to use multiple parser generator libraries.

That article says Lidl/Schwarz has abandonded SAP and gone back to their custom system. That surprises me because I have a friend who does SAP consulting for them.
Re:Desiderata by Max Ehrmann on Thursday August 25, 2022 @09:20AM (#32593341)
"The Peace of Wild Things" by Wendell Berry

  When despair for the world grows in me
  and I wake in the night at the least sound
  in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
  I go and lie down where the wood drake
  rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
  I come into the peace of wild things
  who do not tax their lives with forethought
  of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
  And I feel above me the day-blind stars
  waiting with their light. For a time
  I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
